Yes but on tablet I get lazy to fix things when I see I miss typed something, unlike when I'm on the desktop.
My father was a plugin dev in the snes era emulators, and he works with programming so he always taught me a lot and explained to me how things worked, hence why I like it so much and always found it wonderful, normal people usually doesn't think about how software works at such a low age
PS3 might be possible sooner than expected as there's already a project and I'm sure some brilliant minds would eventually take part of it, just as they did with Dolphin.
Even if it works at 0.00000000000001 fps it would be amazing to see such a beast (in terms of complexity) emulated.

No, but I was pretty fluent in an early version of basic by the age of 7. I could even (with the help of a book) draw a circle, which took most of a day to learn. I learned one line of C+ aged eight, and haven't touched written code since, as game maker 6.0 won me over. I even payed for an extended version which allowed proper 3d, but missed the opportunity to upgrade my reg key from 6 to seven by a month or two, and never paid for 7 or 8. Not that that is especially relevant.

Yes, that's how I see it.
Even tough I suspect hardware will evolve much faster than we expect. We are reaching some limits in this matter, and new technologies will have to be invented to overcome them, that or the hardware evolution will come to a halt in the next years. Which I doubt that will happen. So by this line of thinking whatever they make to fix problems such as heating and material limitation will also grant the industry room for a exponential and unprecedented growth of processing power.
That's just a clueless guess of course, but I see it as the only logical way this will happen, since money will keep the industry evolution running forever, they won't be able to stop like that.
There's already some headway made in this matter: Graphine will probably replace silicon as the basis of chips, making smaller chips easier to make, and at some point we may even have biological computers. Scientists have already grown the brain of a certain flatworm, and used its nerve cells to make a switch very similar to a transistor. This may prove useless, but has some promise.

While I have my own wii and my current hardare can do only 1x ir on most games, I still use Dolphin and I love to try it with all the games I have and test it with the newest revisions, and while Im at it enjoy it and play.
Id love to see ps3 emulation happening because the day I see it running a commercial game at my home PC Im gonna say "My God that's fucking possible". Emulation isnt just about playing games from consoles in Pc, its about the best minds in software engineering around the world perfecting piece of art that shows the cutting edge of what software can do. Its like an awesome experiment, rather than an entertainment software imho.
I remember when my father showed me the first working version of pj64. I was like 7 years old and it was gross, the colors were totally messed up, almost no sound, and after 2 minutes ttyhe PC went Blue screen. Yet I was amazed. How could that program do the same "job" the metalic circuits inside my n64 did. At least thats how my old man explained to me at the time..
And it makes me sad to see the emulation scene slowly fading.. When will I be able to feel that thrill again? Is ttyhis whole thing going to an end/? Dawn, the emulation scene has less than 20 years.. Plus, I loved to know that Pcs are just more powerful than home consoles, enough to allow such a thing as emulation of a modern day console.
While this has been making me more and more dpressed and nostalgic in the last few weeks, it makes me happy to know that tyhere is still a grasp of life cpming from emulation. This is something that was parrt of my entire childhood. I just turned 18, hell I frequented this Forum my entire teenagehood. I really hope it doesnt go away that soon :/

The thrill have disappeared a long time ago for me and I doubt that anything will thrill me again in this business.
Playing PlayStation 2, GameCube and Wii games almost perfectly today... It doesn't get any better then this for a long long time.
The thrill started with Nesticle in 1999 for me, couldn't believe what I saw with my own eyes back then at a friends house. He played the NES games "perfectly" in Windows 95
Can't quite believe all this even today.

I see what you mean, but I still get thrilled with emus (specially Dolphin) and I've started even years before with Dos emulators. I guess its a different kind of thrill though.

I see what you mean there, that's starting to happen to me, even with PC games, lately, and I really don't like this. I guess I would have to leave this all behind eventually.. I dunno, it seems the more old I am the more bitter the life becomes :/
That's why I want something amazing to come, like the N64 when it was launched, something that's different from everything you know..
Yeah it sucks growing old, it feels like you have seen and done it all and you really don't expect anything to thrill you anymore like the good stuff have before in the past.
You become more bitter and anti and start to lose interest more and more only to one day stop playing games completely. Bad jokes and booze becomes your new friends and then you're middle aged and after that it's downhill.
Yeah I miss the good old N64 days with epic GoldenEye and Perfect Dark multi player sessions A LOT!

Haha! Man, before Halo, Perfect Dark was the only thing my friends and I used to play. That game was groundbreaking at the time. The AI was advanced too, even if it did cheat. I started playing this and GoldenEye on Mupen64plus about a year ago. The games play a lot better as dual-stick shooters with a modern joystick. Sucks that I can't play it with my old buddies though. Good times.
Anyway, slightly less off-topic, everyone has their own opinion of "the good old days". Personally, I think modern games now offer just as much entertainment as their older counterparts. It's just a matter of perspective and interest. Though someone interested in the SNES, N64, and PS1 might not like this generation of consoles, there are plenty of kids to whom this generation will be their "golden age" of games.
I've been gaming before I was even a year old; my parents recorded my playing some Disney game for the NES. I watched my mom play most of the original LoZ, and then like 14 years later, I was able to play the game solely on memory. Gaming's in my blood; I never get tired of it. Things are really getting interesting since I'm making games now too. The thrill's still there for me, even in emulation. It's just my own pipe dream, but one day, I'd like to help out with a decent 3DS emulator, or at least hack the system.
lol, this thread is getting off-topic...
